This page is the
entry point into many of my findings as I have been researching history surrounding the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware as well as with the HITCH family in America. It
includes the line of Adam Hitch (1658/59-1731) of Somerset Co., Maryland; Christopher
Hitch (1710-1778) of Prince Georges Co., Maryland and Fauquier Co., Virginia; as well as
several other Hitch lines who arrived in this country in the 19th century. I have included
some textual material, photographs, and other historical items of interest. Be sure not to
miss my section on Hitch family signatures. Additionally, check out the Eastern Shore History area for
1876 Maps of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. Enjoy and if you have any comments, questions or contributions, please drop
me a note at mikehitch@mikehitch.com.Check out the
"virtual cemetery" under Eastern Shore History!
